This morning I started seeing this new behavior with all screens after I updated to the 17.3 IOS yesterday. I tried finding out about it online but cannot find any info about it. I am hoping someone can tell me what it is and how to disable it. I have attached a screenshot, look at the lower right hand corner of the photo for what I am referring to, the black rounded corner icon.
Your screenshot illustrates that you have enabled the iPadOS Stage Manager feature.
With Stage Manager enabled, you will see the new Windowed UI (User Interface) - and with this you will have different controls for the windows. The black “handle” that appears in the lower corner of the illustrated App window is used to resize the related window; while Stage Manager is active, you cannot hide this element of the UI.
With Stage Manager disabled (arguably, this being the far more useful mode when using the iPad without a connected external monitor), you will see the established Full, Split and Slide-over views (accessible from the three-dot multitasking button that you'll see at top-centre of open App windows). In this mode, you will not see the re-sizing handle.
Stage Manager can be disabled (or enabled) from iPad settings:
Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Stage Manager > Use Stage Manager on iPad - set to OFF
The Stage Manager feature can also be simply enabled/disabled from the iPad Control Centre.
Thank you so much that fixed the issue!
You're very welcome. I'm delighted that the problem was easily resolved.
I hope the supplied resources were helpful in understanding Stage Manager.
Started seeing this with IOS 17.3 update on my iPad
